Clear and Muddy Loss of Love

Autumn frost full house three thousand drunk

Xing Jingfu and Xing Jing hurried out of the study room, and ordered the servant who was guarding the door: "Go, go and open the door!"

The servant answered and rushed away.

Several servants opened the back door and stood neatly in two rows, but Qi Yan still stood in place.

It wasn't until Xing Jingfu and Xing Jing went out to meet him that Qi Yan raised his arms and bowed: "Students pay their respects to the teacher."

Xing Jingfu smiled all over his face, and supported Qi Yan's arm: "My son-in-law, please come inside."

Qi Yan: "Thank you teacher."

The three of them entered the main hall together, Xing Jingfu invited Qi Yan to take the seat, but Qi Yan chose the second seat to sit down, Xing Jingfu smiled and sat on the main seat.

The servant came to the door with the teacup, Xing Jingfu glanced at Xing Jing, who came to the door and took the teacup and put it on Xing Jingfu and Qi Yan's table in person: "Master, please use tea."

Qi Yan: "Thank you."

Xing Jingfu: "Jing'er, take everyone down and catch up on the old days for father and son-in-law."

Xing Jing: "Yes."

Xing Jing bent over and took three steps back before turning around and leaving, walked out and closed the door: "No one will stay within fifty steps, you all go away." After speaking, he guarded the door alone.

Qi Yan: "The teacher teaches the child well, the son is a man of talent, and he has the ability to advance and retreat."

Xing Jingfu: "The son-in-law has won the prize. My husband only got this son when he was 30 years old. He has been spoiled for more than ten years. He is not as sensible as he is today. He must be impressed by the demeanor of the son-in-law."

Qi Yan smiled without saying a word, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, but did not speak when he put down the tea cup.

Xing Jingfu has been in the officialdom for more than ten years, and what he lacks most is patience. He also picked up his teacup and took a sip.

The two seem to have fallen into a silent stalemate, and whoever speaks first will be at a disadvantage.

It was Qi Yan who spoke first, but Xing Jingfu's face changed with just one sentence.

Qi Yan: "Teacher, I hate seeing your son so late, and I feel like we hit it off. I wonder if the teacher will allow your son to stay in Bifu for a few days?"

Qi Yan has never met Xing Jing before, and the two of them haven't even spoken three words, how can they hit it off?It's simply nonsense.

But Qi Yan didn't change his countenance, and looked at Xing Jingfu sincerely.

The anger in Xing Jingfu's eyes flashed away, and there was still a kind smile on his face: "The son-in-law is showing love, and it is said that the dog can win the favor of the son-in-law, and I should never refuse. It's just that my mother is ill recently. Madam loves this grandson the most, and Jing'er has to serve the old lady every day, so it's hard to obey."

Qi Yan smiled slightly, and calmly replied: "It's easy, then please bring the old lady with you, and go through the house together, so as not to delay the reunion of grandparents and grandchildren."

As the saying goes, wives and children are not as bad as misfortunes, and even the best-tempered person will be angry when it comes to this, let alone Xing Jing Fu, who has been an extremely human minister for decades?

Qi Yan clearly wanted Xing Jingfu's mother and son-in-law to be hostages!

Xing Jingfu: "Lord Qi, the old man respects you as a son-in-law. You also have to look at where this place is. How can the Zhongshu Lingfu allow people to be so presumptuous?"

Qi Yan was unafraid, looked directly into Xing Jingfu's eyes, and replied: "Master Wan Shengzun, Master, the master preaches and accepts the karma to solve doubts. Dare to ask the teacher, 'How can there be eggs under the nest'?"

Xing Jingfu: "Are you threatening the old man?"

Qi Yan lowered her eyes and said lightly: "Students dare not."

Xing Jingfu arched his hands and raised his head: "The old man has the trust of His Majesty. I have worshiped Zhongshu Ling for more than ten years. I dare not say that I have devoted myself to everything, but I have a clear conscience. How could I be said to be 'overturned'?"

Qi Yan: "Lord Xing is really righteous and admirable. Just... dare to ask, His Majesty is seriously ill, and today is a regular holiday. Why doesn't Lord Xing preside over government affairs at the court?"

Xing Jingfu: "The old man is sick."

Qi Yan: "Forgive me for my poor eyesight, I didn't see it."

Xing Jingfu: "Hmph, there are specialists in surgery, and the son-in-law is not an imperial doctor."

Qi Yan: "Lord Xing doesn't need to play charades with me. Others may take this trick, but they can't deal with me. I came today with a mission, even if it is to carry, I have to carry the old lady and son over the house."

Xing Jingfu: "Presumptuous! Let me see who dares."

Qi Yan: "Your Majesty dare."

Xing Jingfu's face froze, and then there was a trace of ruthlessness: "The son-in-law came here alone, and he uttered nonsense in front of the old man, isn't he afraid that he won't be able to go back?"

Qi Yan hooked the corners of her lips: "Since you dare to come, you have nothing to worry about. Besides... how does Master Xing know that I came here alone?"

Qi Yan raised a finger: "One hour, within one hour, if I don't bring the person I want to take away out of Zhongshuling's mansion, Master Xing will know what the power to overthrow the nest is."

Xing Jingfu sneered: "My son-in-law, these little tricks of yours are nothing more than deceiving others. It's not that the old man is playing tricks on you. Every plant and tree in the capital can't escape my eyes. When they arrest the old man, I am afraid they have to test the authenticity of this imperial decree! I am afraid...you can’t see the light of this imperial decree, right?"

Xing Jingfu's vision was really vicious, although he gave Qi Yan [-] points of courtesy, but he didn't guess that Qi Yan would not make this imperial decree public as a last resort.

After Xing Jingfu finished speaking, he carefully observed Qi Yan's expression, even the slightest change was not missed, but the result disappointed Xing Jingfu.

Qi Yan still looked like that, indifferent and calm, which made Xing Jingfu feel apprehensive.

Qi Yan: "That's right, everything in the capital cannot escape Lord Xing's eyes, but... Lord Xing, do you remember? When His Highness Qionghua entered the capital, General Zhenbei's mansion sent five thousand elite soldiers to escort the tribute to the capital together? You might as well tell the Lord again A secret, General Zhenbei loves his wife and children, falsely reported the escort team, not five thousand but ten thousand... General Zhenbei's mansion has guarded Youzhou for generations, and Youzhou is bitterly cold. Fighting bandits, these ten thousand soldiers are the elite among the elite, everyone has blood on their hands to some extent, I don't know if the family members of Lord Xing's mansion can survive a round at the hands of these arrogant soldiers?"

Xing Jingfu stretched out his finger and pointed at Qi Yan: "You, you... You are an adulterer, a death penalty!"

Qi Yan seemed to have heard something funny, laughed aloud for a while, and replied: "It's not the first time, why is Master Xing making such a fuss? Did Master Xing forget? How did you lose the student's position?"

Xing Jingfu was stunned, and fell down on the chair.

Qi Yan did not give Xing Jingfu any chance to breathe and respond: "Teacher, time is running out. Counting the delay on the road, there is still half an hour. Teacher is a high-ranking and powerful person, and it is not a small crime to crash into your mansion. Striving for the right to speak afterwards... I don't know what those people will do to the teacher."

Xing Jingfu: "I...I know. I will do whatever you ask me to do. Can you..."

Qi Yan: "No."

Xing Jingfu: "Qi Yan! My mother just passed her 70th birthday last year. I won't stop Jinger if you bring her here. Don't bother the old lady in this cold weather. I can swear to Tianqi that I will never cross the river and tear down the bridge!"

Qi Yan suddenly laughed, with sarcasm in his eyes: "Teacher, don't make jokes at this juncture. There are thousands of people in this world, and there are many people who like to fish out the water and lose their conscience. Sons can regenerate, but mothers can only This one, the student can tell which is more important, don't waste any more time. It's too bad a deal to trade the wealth and life of the whole family for me."

Looking into Qi Yan's eyes, Xing Jingfu felt that the person sitting across from him was not a human being at all, but a poisonous snake with a core spitting out its core. His eyes were cold and heartless, and there were some emotions that Xing Jingfu could not understand.

But Xing Jingfu could clearly feel that if Qi Yan didn't follow what Qi Yan said, the other party would really commit massacres in Zhongshu Lingfu.

Qi Yan: This is the person who vigorously promoted the "exclusion" policy and encouraged the local government to treat the survivors of the grassland with iron and blood when he was in charge of the government.It was also this person who strongly recommended Nangong Rang to execute the plan of extermination and massacre on the grassland.

Some debts that are devoid of conscience can escape for a while, but someone will always come to collect them.

Xing Jingfu provided a carriage, and sent the old lady and Xing Jing to the carriage from Lifu.

Qi Yan came to his carriage with a secret decree in his arms, and the driver raised his bamboo hat, it was Wu Er beside the masked man!

Qi Yan: "Go back to the private house."

……

The carriage drove away, and Qi Yan sat alone in the carriage, laughing silently.

How can there be ten thousand elite soldiers?Even if there was, how could Qi Yan be able to mobilize it?With such a tight schedule, Qi Yan didn't have time to discuss with the Nangong family sisters, she lied to Xing Jingfu.

The state of Wei follows Confucianism and is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality.Even if some literati have rotted to the bone, they still have to shout "virtue".

There are many people who stab each other in private among Wei officials, but they can't find a second person like Qi Yan who doesn't talk about "morality".

Taking someone else's high-ranking mother and the only son who is not yet a weak crown as hostages, even if the military attache did this during the war, he would be criticized by the officials.Putting it on a civil servant is simply sensational.

This is also one of the reasons why Qi Yan can successfully bluff Xing Jingfu, no matter how experienced you are, no matter how vicious your eyes are.When suddenly exposed to something beyond the scope of one's cognition, one can't react for a while.

However, although Qi Yan's move was brave, it was not reckless.

She brought Wu Er, the best personal entourage around the masked man.

Back then, he escaped from the hands of countless soldiers of the Wei State with masked men, and brought himself back safely from Luobei, where there were soldiers of the Wei State and orphans on the grassland.

Qi Yan and Wu Er made an appointment for three quarters of an hour, that is, more than half an hour, but they told Xing Jingfu an hour, and there was a time difference here.

If Xing Jingfu decides to fight to the end, Qi Yan has a way to get out of the way.

Just the few flamboyant servants of the Zhongshu Lingfu can't stop Wu Er at all.

How can you catch a tiger if you don't enter the tiger's lair, Qi Yan did it.

However, Qi Yan did not intend to tell Nangong Jingnu about this trump card.

Before leaving, Xing Jingfu asked Qi Yan: "What do you want me to do? There must be a deadline for 'sitting', right?"

Qi Yan: "Let Master Xing adapt to the situation, and also inform the disciples who have informed him. It is better to look up to him in the court. You are a smart person, right?"

Qi Yan knew, Xing Jingfu would understand.

The biggest thing right now is the candidate for the new emperor. Everyone has decided that the fifth prince will inherit the great rule. If Qi Yan is satisfied with the result, he will not make this trip.

On the other side, the three sisters of the Nangong family gathered in Nangong Jingnv's bedroom and were discussing a problem.

Apart from the fifth prince Nangong Da, there are the seventh prince Nangongli and the eighth prince Nangongbao.

Nangong Jingnv wanted to ask Nangong Shunv to interview Lu Zhongxing, so she said: Your Majesty has a candidate for a prince, but this prince is not Nangongda.So the three sisters now need a prince to cooperate with them in blindfolding.

Nangong Sunu likes Nangongbao because he is young, soft-tempered and easy to control.

And Nangong Jingnv prefers the Seventh Prince Nangongli...

Nangong Jingnv: "Lao Ba is good, but his mother and concubine are still here. We invited him to live in Weiming Palace for a while. What if Li Concubine heard the news and came to visit Lao Ba? On the other hand, Xiao Qi has no such worries. The concubine died early and has a withdrawn personality, and the relationship with her adoptive mother is not good. Except for the three festivals and two birthdays, she usually does not see anyone. At least half a year before Shangyuan, and Xiao Qi has always lived in seclusion. The folks don't have any friends, even if they don't see each other for ten days and a half months, no one will ask."

Nangong Sunu: "But... do you know Lao Qi? Is he easy to control? What if a big living person runs away by himself? What if the matter is leaked? We invite him to act as a shield. He is showing up, you have feelings for Lao Ba, maybe he will listen to you."

Nangong Jingnv: "Lao Ba will not support me, he is also one of the heirs to the throne, and Lao Ba is eccentric, once we get out of control, we cannot bear it."

The two of them cast their gazes at Nangong Shunv in unison, and the latter pursed her lips: "I think... what my little sister said makes sense. If the old eighth one disappears, the concubine Li will definitely look for it. Based on how many times we have It might not be easy to hide it from Concubine Li."

Nangong Sunu: "Okay, let's go to Seventh."

……

Nangong Shunv left the palace, she made an appointment with Lu Zhongxing.With Seventh Prince Nangongli as a cover, at least it won't cause Lu Zhongxing's rejection.

As long as it's not a woman ascending the throne, it doesn't matter which prince is to Lu Zhongxing, not to mention that he can get a lot of credit, so why not do it?

……

The 16th year of Jingjia, the first day of February.

Nangong Rang's condition improved, he was able to speak, and summoned Nangong Jingnv.Just when everyone thought that Nangong Rang would get through the difficult time, Ding You came to tell Qi Yan: Nangong Rang is dying, this is a flashback, if there is no accident, it will only be three to five days.

At night, Nangong Jingnv dragged her tired body to look at Qi Yan, and fell into Qi Yan's arms as soon as she left.

Qi Yan hugged Nangong Jingnv, looked down at the other party's bloodshot eyes, black and blue eyes, and said with pity: "Your Highness, how long has it been since you had a good rest?"

A long-lost smile appeared on Nangong Jingnv's face, but she was tired and pale: "Father is well today, I asked Ben Gong to have dinner together, Mr. Yuan... Do you think God opened his eyes and heard my prayer? "It must be, when Qi Yan was poisoned last time, I also begged for the same.

Qi Yan felt a little uncomfortable when he heard it. The reflection of light is something that cannot be explained clearly. People who are seriously ill will suddenly glow with vitality before they die, giving people an illusion of recovery. Maybe it is really God’s last wish for the patient. Bless them so they can say goodbye to their families one last time.

It's just... what about myself?How can my parents and clansmen explain it?

Nangong Jingnv has not closed her eyes for several days and nights, her spirit has been tense, and there are too many things to deal with, the eldest sister and second sister also advised her to take a break, so as not to overwhelm herself.

But Nangong Jingnv lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't fall asleep. Her body was extremely exhausted, but her brain was extremely active.

It wasn't until nestled in Qi Yan's arms, feeling the familiar body temperature and breath, and listening to Qi Yan's concerned words, that he relaxed.

Qi Yan: "Your Highness?"

Without agreeing, Nangong Jingnv unexpectedly just stood like this, leaning against Qi Yan's arms and fell asleep.

A trace of struggle and pain flashed in Qi Yan's eyes, and he looked down at Nangong Jingnv without saying a word for a long time.

Finally, she picked up Nangong Jingnv and put her on her bed, took off her shoes and socks and covered her with a quilt, Qi Yan sat by the bed, sleeping Nangong Jingnv was fragile and peaceful, if Qi Yan had any evil intentions Nangong Jingnv died long ago and couldn't die anymore.

Qi Yan: Your Highness, Your Highness, you have always been defenseless against me like this.

Qi Yan gave up the bedroom to Nangong Jingnv, while she sat in the study and thought all night.

On the second day of February, Sijiu, the chief servant, went to Weiming Palace to pass the decree: His Majesty summoned Zhenzhen Consort.

Qi Yan deliberately changed into a palace outfit with a white background embroidered with auspicious clouds, and was led by Sijiu to Nangongrang's bedroom.

Nangong Rang sat on the bed. Several years of bed rest had degraded his muscles, which cannot be offset by flashbacks.

But Nangongrang was very happy to be able to sit up and talk.

Nangong Rang waved his hand: "Sijiu, you should step back first."

Sijiu: "Yes."

Qi Yan lowered her head, her gestures were all respectful, Nan Gongrang looked at the son-in-law in front of the bed, and sighed: "Get up and talk."

Qi Yan: "Yes."

Qi Yan sat on the round stool, Nan Gongrang looked at Qi Yan carefully, and said with emotion: "These years... I have wronged you."

Qi Yan didn't make a sound, Nangong made his gaze a little empty, lost in memories.

He remembered the dream many years ago, a strange beast with amber eyes flew to the inner court on a black cloud, and thus he became jealous of Qi Yan.Even though Guan Tiansi said that there would be a virtuous minister, he still regarded Qi Yan as a pawn, making Qi Yan a shield to protect his daughter, and completely eliminated the possibility of Qi Yan becoming an official in the court.

It's just these words, this dream, it is impossible for Nangong Rang to tell Qi Yan.

But in these years, Nangong Jingnv said a lot of good things about Qi Yan in front of Nangong Rang, and Qi Yan's series of actions could bear the word "virtuous minister", which made Nangong Rang feel emotional.

Nangong Rang took a break from his memories and continued: "I know you are talented, and I know your hard work and achievements. You are also a lucky person. In the future, the child of you and Jing Nu will become the next emperor. The honor is the first one to break the world, and your parents know it and smile at Jiuquan."

Nangong Rang: "I'm old, even if I make it through this time, I don't plan to take care of the court affairs any more. You should help Jing Nu well and be a good housewife."

Qi Yan lowered her head, and the words "Smiling Nine Springs" pierced through her last forbearance.

No one would have imagined that the dignified Princess Zhenzhen's son-in-law, the next husband-in-law, would hide a dagger in her sleeve when meeting His Majesty.

Nangongrang didn't expect that Sijiu, who had served Nangongrang for 50 years, didn't expect that at this juncture, who would search for a son-in-law who had been in the inner court for eight years?

Qi Yan put the dagger on Nangong Rang's neck, and stared at Nangong Rang with red eyes: "The dagger is poisonous, and it will seal your throat with blood. If you dare to make a sound, I will be on your neck." Wipe it lightly!"

Nangong Rang's eyes widened, his old face flushed red, and his body trembled uncontrollably.I don't know whether to be scared or angry.

Qi Yan dragged the round stool forward and said sarcastically, "That's right, you really know a lot."

Nangong Rang: "What are you going to do?"

Qi Yan stood up the dagger, pressed the gleaming blade against Nangong Rang's skin, and growled, "If there is another time, you will die!"

Nangong Rang took a breath, raised his hand and put it down again.

Qi Yan took a deep breath and let it out slowly, the amber eyes were dead silent.

Qi Yan: "Old thief, I have been waiting for this day for 16 years! Do you know who I am...?"

My name is Qiyan Agula, the son of the prairie tiger Sukhbaru.Prince Jing, no, the king!

16 years ago, you coveted the land, cattle and sheep of the Wei country, sent Lu Quan in command, Ding Yi was the vanguard, and took advantage of the frozen moat to invade the grassland, have you not forgotten?

I jumped off Luochuan and was rescued by the princess of the former dynasty. I learned the language and culture of my enemy with humiliation, and lived myself as a Wei countryman through and through. ...by mistake, he became a son-in-law.

That's right, when His Highness Zhen Zhen becomes the emperor, I will really be under one person and above ten thousand, and it will be easy to overthrow your Nangong royal family!

Nangong Rang's eyes popped out, and several trembling sounds came out from his throat.

His body has long been decayed, so stimulated by Qi Yan, the illusion of returning light was instantly shattered.

Nangong's red face withered and yellowed at a speed visible to the naked eye, his breathing was rapid and short, more air was taken in, and less air was released.Unable to hold on any longer, he fell softly on the bed.

Qi Yan quickly removed the dagger that was on Nangongrang's neck, the sharp edge was just a short distance away from hurting Nangongrang.

Nangong Rang stared at Qi Yan, and made a sound of "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"

Qi Yan retracted the dagger into the sheath sewn into her cuff, stood up, folded her hands together, and covered Nangong Rang's mouth.

Qi Yan: "In order to find me, my Anda started in my name, and there is not a single spot on his body that is not injured! My sister, the biological sister of the same father and mother, should have no worries under my care. You grew up carefree, found a good husband, and gave birth to children. But because of your greed, you became a slave and gave birth to a child, and you are still crazy to this day!"

Qi Yan freed one hand, made a fist and smashed it on his chest: "Here! The wolf king totem that stabbed my back has been destroyed by my own hands!"

Qi Yan's expression became more and more ferocious, Nangong Rang's struggle became weaker and weaker, and finally... he stopped moving.

But Qi Yan fell into a madness, grabbed Nangong Rang's lapel and lifted him up, and roared with tears: "Do you know? I am not a prince at all, but a princess! I took forbidden drugs for revenge, Turn yourself into an inhuman and ghost-like appearance, and your daughter and I will never have children! Nangong royal family, it's over!"

A cloudy tear overflowed from the corner of Nangong Rang's eyes, Qi Yan let go of his hand, and Nan Gongrang fell back limply.

After a while, Qi Yan raised his hand to check Tan Nangongrang's breath, and he died.

I don't know if Nangong Rang heard the last words.

"Ugh……"

Qi Yan heard a sigh, she stared at Nangong Rang and felt for Nangong Rang's pulse, he was indeed dead.

Qi Yan smoothed Nangongrang's skirt, wiped away the tears from the corners of Nangongrang's eyes, and sat down on the side of Nangongrang's bed with his back turned away from looking at him.

Qi Yan: "Do you know? You shouldn't pass the throne to Jing Nu, you are just selfishly imposing your so-called love on her, how passively she bears your so-called love, even the way out is blocked You sealed it, have you ever asked her what she really thinks in her heart? What exactly does she want? Don’t worry, I will guard her... to accompany her and assist her once everything is done.

Qi Yan began to cry again, the tears flowed fiercely, but there was no sound.

This day is still here.

It turned out that returning to the light was not a blessing from heaven, but a ruthless joke.

After an unknown amount of time, Qi Yan dried up her tears, looked back at Nangong Rang, saw that the marks on his mouth had disappeared, and then stood up silently.

Qi Yan stood in front of Nangong Rang's bed for a long time without saying a word, and finally opened his skirt and knelt down.

He murmured in a very soft voice: "Death is like a lamp going out. The debt you owed to the grassland is settled...Father, I will give you a ride for Jing Nu. From now on, it will be the debt between me and her. "
